How Many Moons Does Saturn Have? Saturn now has totally 60 moons. But 52 of them are official. It’s because of new discoveries. Different space stations are discovering the moons but they are too small or not seen all times of year. Saturn moons are not the biggest ones in solar system. Also there are lots of small ones like 2 km acres or less. Saturn has also one of the biggest solar system moons as Titan. Saturn’s closest moon is Pan. It has 134.000 KMs above the planet and some scientists believe a big meteor may bury it into Saturn.
